Cambridge School of intellectual history
International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences (Second Edition), 2015Co-Authors: Richard WhatmoreAbstract:The Cambridge School of Intellectual History is most associated with the work of Quentin Skinner and John Pocock, but encompasses the work of a number of scholars of political thought and political philosophy who have had connections with the University of Cambridge from the 1950s to the present. Members of the Cambridge School, who now teach at institutions of higher education across the globe, share a commitment to the historical study of texts, and reject approaches characterized by presentism and teleology (labeled prolepsis). They also reject canons of dominant authors and histories of philosophy that evaluate past ideas. Members of the Cambridge School have accordingly been in the vanguard of a historical turn in the study of past politics and ideas more generally, alongside the similarly historically minded approach, albeit distinctive methodologically, of Begriffsgeschichte or Conceptual History pioneered by Otto Brunner, Werner Conze, and Reinhart Koselleck. Beyond a belief in the need to establish a context for the understanding of historical texts, and distaste for grand or theory-inspired narratives, the members of the Cambridge School have conflicting views of the origins and nature of modern political thought. This is illustrated through a comparison of the work of Skinner and Pocock.

intellectual history and the history of political thought
palgrave advances in intellectual history, 2006Co-Authors: Richard WhatmoreAbstract:R. G. Collingwood’s description of the difference between the ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ of an event had profound implications for historians of political thought in the 1960s, when it played a role in inspiring the articulation of the approach to intellectual history that has come to be known as that of ‘the Cambridge School’.2 Collingwood’s choice of the example of Ceasar’s death at the hands of assassins seeking to save the republic was fortuitous, in so far as the work of those associated with the Cambridge School has heavily contributed to a remarkable upsurge of interest in republicanism as an historical tradition of political argument.3 Much has been written about this development since the publication of John Pocock’s The Machiavellian Moment in 1975 and Quentin Skinner’s The Foundations of Modern Political Thought in 1978; with the recent appearance of reassessments of historical republicanism by these authors, a re-evaluation of the subject is timely.

re imagining the Cambridge School in the age of digital humanities
Annual Review of Political Science, 2016Co-Authors: Jennifer A LondonAbstract:Recent work on the history of political thought, exploiting digital resources, is challenging the idea that empirically and hermeneutically minded political scientists must work independently in silos. Work by students of the Cambridge School and work by textual data miners are showing the way toward a new hermeneutical circle—one in which empirically and hermeneutically minded political scientists can use digital resources to analyze diverse texts and make groundbreaking discoveries on relationships between textual uses of language and political change. I analyze this new trend toward different sorts of political scientists using digital resources to study ideas, to outline underlying paradigms relating language and politics in these respective fields, and to consider how they could be brought into productive conversation. I then consider how such conversation would enrich subdisciplinary understandings of the role of language in politics. Ultimately, I use this analysis to generate a broader model for h...
